TROUBLESHOOTING 143
Inspecting the system
If checking cable and board connections does not fix the problem, consider inspecting the
system component by component (see Tabl e 5 ) and verifying that each hardware component
is properly installed and configured before you decide to replace costly components.
If a component in the system you are servicing does not meet a condition listed in Tab le 5 and
it is not clear how to fix the problem (for example, if the system hangs before reaching Idle),
locate the behavior in Table 6 on page 149 to see the suggested action(s) for solving the
problem.
